Phase examines form not as a fixed entity, but as a temporary state emerging through changing conditions.
The work consists of heated silicone oil in which convective patterns continuously appear, transform, and dissolve. The visible structures are not composed manually, but arise through relations between heat, gravity, viscosity, and movement.
The title refers both to physical “phases” of matter and to transitional states more broadly. Rather than presenting a stable image, the work remains in continuous fluctuation, where order and instability coexist. What appears is never permanent, but temporarily sustained through dynamic equilibrium.
In this work, form is understood not as something autonomous, but as a phenomenon that emerges conditionally and disappears again. The constantly shifting surface questions the assumption that stability or permanence underlies reality, suggesting instead that all states remain provisional and relational.
